Liverpool's Champions League ambitions were crushed after Ousmane Dembele scored twice in the latter stages of the game, securing a 2-0 win for Paris Saint-Germain at Anfield and a 4-0 aggregate victory. Despite a spirited performance from Arne Slot's side, the hosts were unable to overturn the two-goal deficit from the first leg. The Reds had their chances, with Virgil van Dijk being denied by Marquinhos and Alexis Mac Allister seeing a penalty award overturned by the referee after a VAR review.
However, it was Dembele who proved to be the difference-maker, punishing Liverpool's defense with two clinical finishes. The result means that Liverpool will now focus on securing a top-five finish in the Premier League to ensure their return to the Champions League next season. For PSG, the victory sets up a semifinal showdown with either Bayern Munich or Real Madrid, as they aim to defend their European crown.
